Overview

The primary focus of our lab is the development of quantitative optical imaging technologies and biomarkers to identify cancer patients who would benefit the most from therapy. Research in the lab is divided into three specific areas – instrument development, basic science investigations in cells and pre-clinical animal models, and clinical studies in patients and excised patient samples. We use multiphoton microscopy of endogenous metabolic fluorophores, diffuse optical spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy to conduct these investigations. Click on the pictures for more information!
